Eagles Look For Weekend Sweep Over Saint John This Afternoon

The Cape Breton Eagles will look to move into a home ice playoff position this afternoon as they take on the Saint John Sea Dogs at Centre 200.

Coming into this afternoon, the Eagles trail the Baie-Comeau Drakkar for fourth place in the Eastern Conference by a single point- and today the Eagles will play one of their two games in hand as they host the Saint John Sea Dogs in the second game of a back to back.

The Eagles struck first in the two game set with a 6-3 victory on Saturday night. Joey Henneberry & Romain Litalien led the way with two goals, while Brayden Schmitt scored and added an assist. Andrew Brown had a strong game on the blueline, posting a +3 rating, while Jakub MIlota stopped 38 of 41 shots in the win.

Heading into last night’s games, Tyler Peddle, Zachary Morin, Olivier Groulx, and Dylan Rozzi with 14 goals for the team lead. Rozzi was the odd man out for the Dogs last night as the other three all hit the back of the net. For Morin, his short handed goal was a weight off the back, breaking a six game drought in his NHL draft season.
